NoiseToys co-founder Shalin Mantri tells me that the funding rigmarole was not with out its hiccups. The power actually went out on Sand Hill Road right before the company’s final meeting with DCM and hilarity ensued, “We met with the entire partnership (including China / Japan via Blackberry speakerphone) in the ‘pitch dark,” running off of laptop battery and lighting our faces with cell phones.”

NoiseToys will be using the funding to create the same level of app development in both iOS and Android, as well as to expand its business and consumer efforts.
